(NEWSER) – The moment Bowe Bergdahl saw freedom after five years of captivity is captured in a dramatic video released by the Taliban. In the 17-minute video, a clean-shaven Bergdahl can be seen waiting in a pickup truck while Taliban soldiers stand guard in eastern Afghanistan, Reuters reports. "We told them there are 18 armed fighters and the Americans said that's alright," a man can be heard saying. After a Black Hawk helicopter lands, three men who appear to be Americans walk to meet Bergdahl and two of his captors.
